Topic: Aluminium rods/tubes UK - where? (Read 2051 times)

I'm in need of a tube that is roughly 68-70mm OD with the wall around 10mm thick. I've been quoted for a 2.75" OD x 1/2" (69.85mm OD x 12.7mm) by a place I've used on ebay once (forwardmetals), the guy there is a helpful person. But anyway the quote was for 250mm and £19.50 + £7.50 postage. To me, that is a lot of money for little tube, although it is a very specific size I need that seems to be hard to find, so perhaps this is the best there is. I'm curious if anyone knows a good place to order such stuff?

I've no problem paying that as I know it will do what I want (just need to make some thin washers basically), just curious where others shop as I'm 'new to the game'.

Sorry, not very specific, it's for a job in a couple of weeks so don't actually have the thing to hand to be more precise. I 'guestimate' the actual 'washer' will be around 65mm OD and around 2-4mm thick. There will be a small 'lip' on the one side.
